1、Designation: E 611 03Standard Test Methods forLow Concentrations of Diethlyene Glycol in Ethylene Glycolby Gas Chromatography1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E 611; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision

2、, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 These test methods are intended primarily for theanalysis of mixtures of ethylene and diethylene glycol

3、s inwhich the diethylene glycol concentration is 0.1 % or less.Both test methods should be applicable to higher concentra-tions of diethylene glycol, but precision and bias estimateshave been obtained only for 0.05 to 0.1 % diethylene glycol.NOTE 1Test Methods E 202 describe another gas chromatograp

7、 of Industrial ChemicalsE 202 Test Methods for Analysis of Ethylene Glycols andPropylene Glycols3. Significance and Use3.1 Either test method may be used to determine theconcentrations of diethylene glycol in ethylene glycol. Theconcentrations of the components are obtained by a normal-ization techn

8、ique, based on the assumption that all componentsare eluted under the conditions used. If all components shouldnot be eluted, the calculated concentrations will be erroneouslyhigh, with the major component showing the most significantabsolute error. Since water is not detected by these procedures,th

9、e results are on a water-free basis. Water may be determinedin accordance with the applicable sections of Test MethodsE 202 and the gas chromatographic results corrected for thewater concentration.3.2 Both test methods are currently in industrial use. TestMethod A is the simpler of the two test meth

10、ods because it doesnot require the preparation of derivatives prior to gas chro-matographic analysis. The results obtained by Test Method Aare slightly more accurate than those obtained by Test MethodB. With respect to precision there is no significant differencebetween the two test methods. Test Me

11、thod B has beenreported to be suitable also for the analysis of a wide variety ofglycol ethers, but this use is beyond the scope of this standard.4.

12、he specifications of the Committee on AnalyticalReagents of the American Chemical Society, where suchspecifications are available.3Other grades may be used, pro-vided it is first ascertained that the reagent is of sufficientlyhigh purity to permit its use without lessening the accuracy ofthe determi

26、Chromatographic Column8.1 Dissolve 20 g of the polyethylene glycol in approxi-mately 200 mL of CH2Cl2with gentle warming to aid solution.Add 180 g of orange calcinated diatamite with dimethyldichlo-rosilane, DMCS, and sufficient CH2Cl2to form a slurry, andmix well, making certain that all particles

27、are wetted. Evapo-rate the CH2Cl2by heating gently over a steam bath in a fumehood until the mixture is dry. Frequent stirring of the slurryduring the drying operation is necessary to obtain a uniformcoating. The use of a vacuum rotary evaporator will shorten thetime required for drying.8.2 Screen t

These factorsare obtained from mixtures of kno

34、wn composition, and shouldbe determined for each apparatus. The calibration factors maybe obtained using standards prepared from “hearts cuts” fromthe distillation of each of the glycols, or from commercialgrades of each glycol as described in the following testmethods. For highest accuracy, use gly

35、cols obtained from“hearts cuts.” Check the calibration factors periodically orwhenever there is evidence of a change in the column orinstrument.9.2 Calibration Method 1:9.2.1 Purify the commercial grade of each glycol needed bycareful fractionation in glass at reduced pressure, discardingthe first 3

36、0 % and retaining the next 30 % as the “hearts cuts.”Analyze these fractions as described in Section 10 to be surethey are free of other homologues of the glycol.9.2.2 Prepare a standard mixture of these glycols whosecomposition approximates that of the glycol to be analyzed.The composition of the s

Determine the water content asdescribed in the applicable section of Test Methods E 202.9.2.3 Obtain at least two chromatograms of the standardmixture as described in Section 10

38、and calculate the averagearea percent for each of the glycols present in accordance with11.2.1. Do not include any areas associated with the pressurepeak in calculating the area percentages. Using the weightpercentages in the standard mixture and the average areapercentages, calculate the factor for

Assume a calibration factor of unity for theethylene glycol in the base ethylene glycol standard mixture.9.3 Calibration Method 2:9.3.1 For routine analyses, high-purity, commercial gradesof each glycol may be used. If the gas chromatographicanalysis as desc

40、ribed in Section 10 indicates that the concen-tration of the ethylene glycol in the diethylene glycol to beadded to the base ethylene glycol in the standard mixture doesnot exceed 0.2 area %, the concentration of the impurity isinsignificant at the concentration levels included in the scope ofthis t

41、est method. The base ethylene glycol should contain lessthan 0.05 area % diethylene glycol.9.3.2 Prepare a standard mixture of the glycols whosecomposition approximates that of the glycol to be analyzed.The composition of the standard mixture should be known tothe nearest 0.001 %. Correct the compos

If the concentrations of the ethylene glycol in thediethylene glycol added to the base ethylene glycol in thestandard mixture does not exceed 0.2 area %, t

43、he concentrationof the impurity is insignificant at the concentration levelsincluded in the scope of this method. The base ethylene glycolshould contain less than 0.1 area % diethylene glycol.9.3.3 Obtain at least two chromatograms of the standardmixture and of the base ethylene glycol in accordance

44、 with10.2 and calculate the average area percent for each of theglycols present in accordance with 11.2.1. Do not include anyareas associated with the pressure peak in calculating the areapercentages. Using the weight percent of diethylene glycoladded to the ethylene glycol and the average area perc

Assume the calibration factorof unity for the ethylene glycol in the base ethylene glycol andthe standard mixture.10. Procedure10.1 Mount the column in the chromatograph, and adjustthe operati

46、ng conditions in accordance with the parametersgiven in Table 1 (see Note 4). Allow sufficient time for theinstrument to reach equilibrium as indicated by a stable baseline on the chart at the maximum sensitivity setting to be used.NOTE 4The instrument parameters given in Table 1 were developedfor t

47、he indicated instrument. The use of other instruments will probablyrequire some adjustment of column temperature, helium flow rate, etc., toachieve retention times similar to those in Table 2. Adjust the parametersso that symmetrical, sharp peaks with satisfactory resolution are obtained.Adjust the

48、hydrogen and air flow rates so that the flame response issensitive but constant for concentration changes over the 0 to 0.1 % rangeof diethylene glycol.10.2 Inject 2 L of the sample into the injection port of theinstrument and leave the needle in the port for at least 28 s.NOTE 5The time the needle

49、should be left in the injection port mayvary from instrument to instrument. Leave the needle long enough so thatmaximum sized peaks are obtained for a fixed volume of sample.10.3 Obtain a chromatogram of the sample using attenua-tion settings that allow for maximum peak heights for eachpeak without going off scale. Approximate retention times forthe glycols are given in Table 2. A typical chromatogram isshown in Fig. 1.10.4 Repeat 10.3 to obtain a duplicate chromatogram.
